Adam Grant

You never know where somebody’s going to end up. It’s not just about building your reputation; it really is about being there for other people.

The youngest professor at Wharton to earn tenure (and, not to mention, the school’s highest-rated teacher), Adam Grant is an expert on motivation, success, and leadership. His first book, Give and Take, tackled why helping others is critical to our own achievement; his second, Originals, is due out in 2016, with a focus on rejecting conformity and championing new ideas. His insights about the world of work have caused organizations like Google, the NFL, Pixar, and the U.S. Army to seek him out as a consultant; Sheryl Sandberg and Malcolm Gladwell are among his more famous fans. A former magician and Junior Olympic diver, Grant also writes op-eds for the New York Times.
